It's official: Ira Glass has given in to Twitter

This American Life host Ira Glass recently told The Independent that he had no plans to start tweeting:

“I don’t need another creative outlet. I’m busy and I feel like anything I want to say, I have my own radio show! So I don’t need another way to reach an audience, which I know sounds like the most bratty thing a person can say, but I’m totally good.”

But eventually, everyone gives in to the strong forces of the Twitterverse.

Though Glass joined Twitter back in 2008, he only started tweeting today. Like most celebs, his first tweet was to promote something:

Okay my first tweet! It's to say: watch this clip! http://t.co/Zejj4UNUt5 God, I have so many characters left! Want to use every single one.
